Yeah I'm reading through the Claremont run for the first time and I can't think of an issue where he hasn't been depicted with a darker skin tone. That coupled with the fact his African-Brazillian heritage is referenced on numerous occasions leads me to seriously question the motivation for subsequent creatives (including Beau) to erase that aspect of Sunspot's character.
